MEXICO 2008: Tufted Jays.

Although we saw the reserve's star bird quite easily last year, 2008 was much better with Tufted Jays seen every day during our stay on the Durango Highway. It wasw nice to get a half decent shot of one of these exquisite birds as they forayed in the canopy, stealing foliage from old nests.
We enjoyed an incredibly good day at the head of the barranca with Grey-collared Becard being one of the star birds of the day as it associated with a mixed flock. The day ended well with great views of a Whiskered Screech-Owl just after dinner.
